That makes sense. I killed a bunch of carpenter bees with a fly swatter last year and that was the only year I didn't have an exterminator come in. I have the powder and bulb pump that didn't work worth a crap. (The bulb pump) I may have to use the compressor this time like the exterminator does. Or I just may have them come back out.

There are times I wish the wife hadn't been so adamant to have a log home. They look nice but lots of maintenance and headaches. That and mine is really, really, tall with a steep pitch. I had a satellite dealer actually refuse to get on the roof!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
